Definition ∞ Malicious Script Injection is a cyberattack where an attacker inserts harmful code into a website or web application, typically targeting the front-end. This injected script can then execute in a user’s browser, potentially stealing credentials, redirecting funds, or compromising user sessions. It exploits vulnerabilities in how web applications process and display user-supplied data.
Context ∞ Malicious script injection remains a common attack vector in the digital asset space, with numerous incidents reported where users have lost funds after interacting with compromised platforms. The ongoing discussion emphasizes the need for robust web application security practices, including input validation and content security policies. Future defenses will rely on continuous security audits and advanced client-side protection mechanisms.
